"Lord Shilf... Lord Prophet... Why... why are you...?"
Leviathan's face was a mask of panic as he retreated, stammering.
Samael, gripping his black scythe, unleashed a barrage of demonic energy slashes at Kolki and the "Prophet" before leaping away at high speed. Leviathan paused for a moment, then followed suit...
Belial's demonic energy surged, a bizarre demonic circle manifesting on the ground. He rapidly merged into the circle, clearly preparing to flee...
"Whoosh~ Buzz~!"
Suddenly, a figure flashed by. Belial's remaining head outside the demonic circle was seized by Kolki.
"Shi... Lord Shilf... Woo woo~"
Choked, Belial let out a pained cry. He looked at Kolki in terror as he was forcibly pulled out of the demonic rune circle.
"Belial, do you know how the word 'diligence' came to be on your forehead?"
Kolki sneered at the terrified and bewildered Belial, "I carved it there myself!"
"And... my name isn't Shilf. It's Yu'olmus!"
"You... too... are!"
Kolki spat out the last words one by one.
With that, Kolki opened his mouth wide and bit down on the neck of the bewildered and terrified Belial.
"Pfft~ Pfft~ Zzz!~"
Belial's blood gushed out like a ruptured fire hydrant, but it was all absorbed by the red-gray glow emanating from Kolki...
"Ah!~ Ah~ Ah~"
Amidst Belial's screams, his body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like Lucifer had done not long ago...
"Yu... Yu'olmus... Is this Kolki one of the Twelve Archangels? The one most skilled at thievery?"
Ye Feng tilted his head, looking curiously at Qiao Ying. He remembered her mentioning this before.
"Sh-should be..."
Qiao Ying's voice was filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
"Should be? What do you mean?"
Ye Feng's brow furrowed.
"Yu'olmus is not only highly skilled at thievery... but is also the most mysterious among the Twelve Archangels... Qiao Ying, I, Ling Xi, and many other angels... have never seen his true form..."
Leng Yue chimed in, "I'm afraid only Her Majesty the Queen has seen him..."
"Crunch crunch~ Crack~"
At this moment, a crisp sound echoed. It was Kolki, or rather Yu'olmus, crushing the bones of Belial, the King of Sloth, and swallowing them.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to Leng Yue, a cold sneer on his face, "Little angel, you're mistaken. Many of your kind have seen me... It's just that... they're all dead..."
As he spoke, Kolki's body and face began to shift. The red-gray glow surged, and his large black-rimmed glasses instantly shattered. A powerful pressure emanated from him...
Within a few breaths, Kolki, who had looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, transformed into a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, an unusually long bridge, a large tip, and deep-set eye sockets.
"It really is you... Yu'olmus!"
At this moment, the hunched old woman who had devoured Asmodeus approached.
The hunched old woman had now transformed into a young woman with a bewitchingly beautiful appearance, striking a seductive pose. The end of her hair ornament was a shriveled apple.
Her previously ornate robe was torn into mere scraps, leaving her looking quite exposed.
"Hera, you haven't even fully recovered your strength, yet your lecherous nature has returned!"
Yu'olmus licked his lips with his tongue.
"Hmph, you have the nerve to talk about me?"
Hera scoffed, "Your strength hasn't fully recovered either?!"
Upon hearing this, Yu'olmus immediately turned his gaze to Ye Feng, or rather, to the Kolki clones surrounding him.
"Buzz~ Whoosh!~"
Yu'olmus reached out towards the direction of the Kolki clones, and a dozen Kolki clones, fused with dark shadow puppets, instantly exploded. Piles of red-gray glowing substances rapidly converged towards Yu'olmus.
"Whoosh!~"
At this moment, Ye Feng moved. He gripped his Tang dao, his figure flashing, and instantly appeared beside Yu'olmus, delivering a slash.
"Whoosh~ Boom!~"
A golden light, none other than Karma Fire, erupted from the Tang dao.
"Screech! Whoosh~ Boom!"
"Clang clang!~"
Amidst the golden Karma Fire, a crisp metallic clang echoed, and then, the two figures retreated, Ye Feng and Yu'olmus.
"Karma Fire, huh... That was a close call!"
Yu'olmus glanced at the torn clothing on his left shoulder, his eyes narrowing in their deep sockets.
"Hey, Yu'olmus, don't get careless. This brat has mastered the power of Karma Fire!"
Hades, the King of the Underworld, walked over from not far away, his expression grave.
Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying, the four women, did not attack. Instead, they gripped their Angel Blades, their gazes warily fixed on Hera.
"How did this guy... do it?"
Having failed to land a decisive blow, Ye Feng did not press his attack. His expression was solemn.
Although Hades, the King of the Underworld, had condensed a spatial energy barrier just moments ago, it had been sliced through by his Karma Fire in an instant... He was certain his Karma Fire slash had hit Yu'olmus... yet Yu'olmus, apart from his torn shoulder clothing, was unharmed...
Moreover, judging by Yu'olmus's reaction just now, he wasn't surprised by this outcome...
"Should I kill these guys... It's been a while since I've had to dismember angels... The last time, it took about thirteen hundred and sixty-one slashes before that angel finally breathed her last..."
At this moment, Hades, the King of the Underworld, spoke again, his voice filled with cruelty. "Sss sss, her name was... what was it... Sasha, I think... She was captured, I believe, while trying to save some angel..."
"Qiao Ying, don't be provoked!"
Suddenly, Leng Yue shouted sternly.
"Qiao Ying!"
Ling Xi also cast a concerned glance at Qiao Ying.
"Sasha was Qiao Ying's former partner... She went missing after the battle in Angel City..."
As if sensing Ye Feng's confusion, Leng Yue quickly explained, her gaze never leaving Hades, the King of the Underworld, in front of them.
"Oh?"
Hades, the King of the Underworld, narrowed his eyes. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a black stone tablet, utterly dark and inscribed with various bizarre runes, shrouded in black mist, instantly materialized. It was the Underworld Divine Tablet that Ye Feng had seen in the Dune Ancient Battlefield.
